We have lots of crazy religious wackos in Turkey but no politician takes an oath on a Quran when they are inaugurated. Instead, they swear on their honor; but of course you may debate the logic of making people swear on something they don't have.

Touché.

heh. I can't even imagine Erdogan saying "I swear on my honour". But I digress the US really should be more secular then it currently is and religious influence is off the roof. Like seriously they need to start taxing those churches.
